Good Facial Regime

What could be a good facial regime? What is your favorite facial product? A good facial regime is cleansing, toning, clarifying and moisturizing. For one,need to use a very good cleansing bar or facial wash to remove dirts. Of course, to take out excess oil and to clarify more the face, a toner should be used. A scrub can be used as well atleast twice a week. More importantly, moisturizing the face is a regime that should not be missed. At least twice a month, a powerful and all natural mask should be used to help tighten skin and shrink pores while fighting acne. As per acsonix reviews, this brand actually lives up to that expectation. Now, considering to try it too.

Paperless…

With all these things related eco-friendly, people are really getting conscious about helping the environment. It is actually a good sign isn’t? And have you heard about document management software? It’s practically going paperless. It is about sharing documents to clients, colleagues electronically without a need to send a fax or even print the materials. But the good thing is that you can still restrict access to some or more of the files. There would be special permissions that can be given to certain employees or suppliers and clients. It is indeed a good way to help the environment. I hope more companies would consider that. I am actually. It would be great to share files to my clients and suppliers.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Yey! The most anticipated celebration for the year is almost here. Happy Thanksgiving to all family and friends in the US. Aside from the feast on the table for turkey and pie, everyone is excited for the Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales. As for me, I am excited as well for checking special deals for this season online. It’s amazing! Online shopping is the best. At least I am sure I won’t get frustrated with long lines in stores. And I could easily see if the item I would like is really available. Now, I have my list. Time to look for my items!

Wishing for Santa’s gift…

As I was browsing for some designs for promise rings for my clients, I saw some nice things which I would like to add to my Santa’s list. Done for bags this year (wink!) as I would like to invest on valued items like jewelry and watches.  It was proven that I have been nice this year and not naughty at all as I even gave my advance christmas gift already to the husband.  I hope he could advise mine too! ;)

Long Champ Collections

So before I even make a research about l-dopa as I am helping my cousin for his term paper on amino acids that could help in increasing body energy, let me confess  that I made about 5 purchases of LC bags in the past 3 months. Yes, trying to make it as a collection.  What are those? (sorry, I actually haven’t taken any decent pictures with these new purchases. Got in Hongkong the Raisin Planetes and the Limited Edition of Great Wall of China. Courtesy of friends, who bought for me, I also got the LC Statue of Liberty, Red Cabas and a small pink planetes. The small one was really very tiny, I miscalculated the size based online. Now, my eldest daughter is claming for her first ever Long Champ.

Black Friday Sale 2010

Yes, I am looking forward for this year’s black friday sale again. Last year, I remember having a list of things I would like to buy online. This year, I haven’t really started my list but my friends and I were exchanging notes already on what to watch out from our favorite stores. Aside from our own personal stuff and the usual clothes and toys I get for my kids, I am actually looking for some 100 christmas gift ideas under $20. I am not yet done with my christmas gift shopping so I am hoping I could get nice gifts for our family and friends.

New Craze…

We went to the home depot yesterday to check out some easy-install racks for the kids’ room. We were also looking for stair rods as my mom wants to replace the one in their house. But we weren’t lucky to find what we were looking for so the kids asked us to bring them instead to a kid’s store nearby. The eldest didn’t want to leave the store without bringing home this.

This is their latest craze after seeing one in TV. Glad she also got something bigger like this for her twitter kids exchange gift.

Shopping for gifts…

With just few days before Christmas, everyone is gearing for some shopping and bargain hunting. I’m pretty sure my credit card would have major beating again as I would be buying gifts for friends and family. Will have lots of stuff which would go through the barcode scanner for those dates that I would shop. I want to start early actually and hopefully finish my gift-shopping before December even starts. Good luck to me!

Ethan Allen Sale

One of my wildest dreams is to own a piece of furniture from Ethan Allen. We visited this store when we were still furnishing our house.  One sofa would already cost for like a down payment for a brand new car. I almost fell on the ground after checking the prices so we ended up having our “ethan allen inspired” furniture customized instead by our interior designer. We are happy with the output nonetheless.

But heard that there’s something cooking up next week in their store in Pioneer Street, Mandaluyong City. Check out their poster below…

Tempted to check them out as I wanted to get new curtains!

Divisoria Trip…

Yes, had a divi trip yesterday with my friends. Had it for a whole day and I was dead tired when I arrived home. But I was very happy to buy a lot of stuff. Aside from getting loots for Bianca’s birthday celebration in school tomorrow, I was able to grab some nice items for giveaways this coming christmas. Found affordable scales which we can raffle off for our party. Got cute convertible foldable bags for prizes, and even gifts for classmates of my kids. And I was even able grab like 3 blouses and 1 dress from Juana, a cheap store for nice clothes for ladies.  Oh, the trip was all worth it, good buys coupled with nice company, it was a great one!

My friday is blocked…

(that is tomorrow) because of this…

I would be there from opening hour. It’s my 2nd DK’s birthday tomorrow too so that’s where I would also get her birthday present. Would be getting gifts for the exchange gifts we have on Sunday and of course, I’m ready with my list for Christmas. I hope they have nice stuff and that they have really slashed off in prices.

New stuff for the house…

The husband woke me up early this morning as he wanted to go to the mall to buy something. At first, he actually didn’t want to divulge yet what he plans to buy. I was secretly hoping it was for me but he was asking me to come with him in a wrong mall if what he planned to purchase was for me. I was hoping it would be in greenbelt 4 or 5, lol! But instead he dragged me to SM Megamall. We arrived early than expected since there was no traffic at all and the mall opened at 12nn. We were there a little before 11am. Anyway, he already told me while we were waiting in the car that he plans to buy something for the house. Thought, he might be thinking to replace all our lighting inside as he was telling me about using some LED lights already. Oh well, it wasn’t a simple purchase actually but after looking for his choices for hours, (yes, took him forever!) he got a new home theater system.

My CC had so much beating as well during our time in the mall because as he was practically comparing his options, I got my free time to move around in the home department area.  I got few stuff for the house too.

The shopping today was totally for our loving abode.
